João Pereira nets stoppage-time goal in Fenerbahçe v Alanyaspor | OneFootball

João Pereira managed to secure a hard-fought draw on Wednesday, September 17, in the match between Fenerbahçe and Alanyaspor, which ended 2-2. The team led by the former coach and player of Sporting scored the equalizing goal in stoppage time.

In a delayed game from the first round of the Turkish league, Domenico Tedesco - successor to José Mourinho at Fenerbahçe, who might be on his way to Benfica -, couldn't prevent the team led by the former Portuguese international from gaining points at their home ground. João Pereira's team started off winning, with a goal from Ibrahim Kaya (18'), but the hosts eventually took the lead.

Nelson Semedo, former Benfica player, started the comeback for the home team, at 72 minutes. Shortly after, the Istanbul team took the lead, by En-Nesyri (76’). However, the game was not over and stoppage time brought the equalizing goal, by Ozdemir, at 90'+3.

Before that, at the start of the second half, it's worth highlighting the missed penalty by Talisca, at the 57th minute, which could have decided the match in favor of Fenerbahçe and prevented João Pereira's team from leaving with a point.

With this result, Alanyaspor confirmed their good start to the season and are in seventh place in the Turkish league, with eight points from five matches played. In the next round, João Pereira will face Basaksehir, with the game scheduled for next Sunday, September 21.
